Autumn on Ocracoke is a lovely time of year. For most of September and much of October, we were on various degrees of storm watches and warnings. Both Jose and Maria brought us winds and flooding but nothing serious– certainly nothing to compare to the damage in Houston, Puerto Rico and other places. As the hurricane season winds down, the weather has been lovely. I am writing this on the night of November 5, 2017; We had strong winds (winds that shook the house more than tropical storm Hermine three weeks after my arrival on the island last year!) and heavy rain last Sunday night. Since then, as October gave way to November, it has been a week of lovely sunrises and sunsets. I will have another post soon about fall on the island, but for now I will simply share images of the week. Enjoy.
